Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.
ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily Giffin. He's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

Bertrice Small has an interesting writing style. It's 1 part smut, 1 part action, 1 part awesome. She writes my favourite "historical" fiction, although I use the term historical rather loosely. A Dangerous Love is a good book where things keep going horribly for the main...

A heavy and long read, that I found fascinating. See the film before reading to provide some context. An excellent discussion of the 2008 financial crisis from the viewpoints of all the major players.

I am on a mission to read more, and this is one I stumbled upon that I don't think I normally would have picked up - I don't usually read fiction, let alone any suspense or mystery. Not long after picking up this book I was hooked. Burke is an incredible story teller and this...

This book is just a classic. And a CANADIAN classic at that. I read A LOT as a child, and my parents always read to me, and this is a book I will never forget. I am sure the copy I have is close to an original printing - it is very well worn and has been read thousands of...

Okay so....The Princess Bride movie was my all time favorite movie as a child. So this is why I picked up the book to read in the first place. I could picture and hear the cast of the movie as I read which in this case was actually a good thing. This is my one and only time...

This is the 2nd book I had read of hers and I was very impressed. Ellen Hopkins writes beautiful free-verse, and this novel is no exception. Very quick read, don't be scared looking at the size because I flew through it in about 3 hours total over a few days. Tough topics, but...

this is a great pocket dictionary that you can use one the go. Many people may not use a dictionary very often, but I keep one with me just so I know what people are talking about without asking.

As much as the coffee house in the century home initially captured my attention, the depth of content is what captivated me. I loved the premise of a single mom developing a home business to make a go of life after being dealt a tough hand, but when supernatural realities invade...

This book is a very light, easy read. The best way I could describe it is a poor woman's Outlander. In the book, the main character travels back in time during epileptic fits to Scotland in the Dark Ages. It's a romance, a little bit of a mystery, with some time travel which is...

I really love these books for older readers. I generally work with younger students and there hasn't been much interest in these books yet. They offer the ability to read a book but is more engaging than a "left to right, no photos" novel - this is a graphic novel that is more...

I was really excited to receive this coloring book as it's quiet different from the other ones I own and who doesn't love cats! The paper felt quite cheap, like traditional kids colouring book paper and while the designs were really cute, my real problem with this book was that...

I really wanted to loooove this book and I did, to a point. It's a unique story, but sometime feels like a rehash of The Windup Bird Chronicles. The third part of the book kind of drags on, which I think is a symptom of the book being originally released in Japan in three...
